ok, if we are in the end doing the number thing imno, i pick 50

Gooner loses. His bid was after on the deadline closed.

5:59:59 is the last possible bid to qualify for deadline.

Make it 6:00:00 and you might as well make it 7:00:00 or 6:01:15

I was kidding. :lol:

fuck you, fuck you all :cry:

except zimbos :)

You had plenty of time champ.

that stupid logic. the deadline is 6pm. he was there on 6pm, so he was not after the deadline. he was on the deadline and being on the deadline is on time.

Topic says "window open until 6pm."

Until 6pm.

Once it's 6pm the window closes.

no. once its 6:00:01 it closes as he is after the deadline. he was not after the deadline, but on the deadline. how did Van Der Vaart get signed?

So do we celebrate new year at one second past midnight?

but the point here, is that he was not after the deadline, he was on the dot. players have been signed after the deadline and he entitled to the signing as he has not gone past the required time.

Why the fuck are you bothering arguing about it, it's Afro's decision and that's final so until then STFU about it.

+1

BECAUSE WERE AN ANGRY MOB... I'm siding with my Queensland college Scouse

Zlats \:d/ cue NQI going bankrupt

All of you are cunts. I have no idea what's happened and I'm not sure I want to check.

Haha you got lucky/unlucky with that one Doc. I bid on him but my connection to the server was just.. Dead.

Good luck with the wages though :D

THIS IS THE INTERNET THAT'S WHY FUCKO.

Until 6pm is just that. Until 6pm. 5:59:59 is the last possible moment "until" 6pm.

Once it's 6pm, IT'S NOW 6PM AND THUS DOESN'T COUNT FOR 'UNTIL' 6PM.

QED.

You lost Vidic scouse, that's all :P

I was actually sort of hoping I would - I forgot to take into account his mammoth wages when I bid 20 for him.

Glad I didn't lose Molinaro, Neill or Akinfeev ;)

Well we don't know about Akinfeev yet:lol:

I knew somebody was going to do it... i was on the platform at parra borrowing my mates iphone to check if i had him, so stoked, but the club will probably have to shed some players next season, but now i realise the massive wages, something i didn't take into account, but ehh atleast i won't get relegated now, hopefully

zimbos just sucking up... you had from thursday to tuesday, so like, it's not as if you can blame time, you played the game and tried to wait until the last second and you fucked it up, deal with it

Indeed. :D

"Six Days And You Fucked It Up, Six Days And You Fucked It Up"

Very happy with my signings, hoping i dont stretch my budget to much though. Tiago Luis turns into a gun striker, Lowry provides a good Aussie backup, Toprak is a good CB and Tommy Smith provides some much needed attacking flair.
Hoping to become a little stronger, would of liked to offload Mathijsen to lower the wages, heres hoping I dont go into administration, but i think i should be fine tbh

Pretty happy with Akinfeev and Neill for Christchurch - I have a good right back in Neill who will give us the ability to play a 4 man backline and not suffer for it - and to put Oar on the bench, not that that's a concern, but Babel, Gelson Fernandes etc will be upgrades in midfield - and Akinfeev covers my team's other weak link. They will be a force to be reckoned with :D

Molinaro is a solid defender and a lot more cost effective than Vidic. :D

:lol: at all you arguing over it while i'm not here, why the fuck do you even care!? :lol:

the final defence i will make before afro decides, i clicked the post button in the last minute of the deadline, it took about 5-10 seconds for the post to actually load and be posted after i had clicked 'post', technically i made the bid with 5:59:59, i hope that helps, that is all.

shame you tried to be a smartarse, 6:00:00 is not 'until 6pm' :D

because you made it a big deal, so the angry mob reacted to this, and you should take into consideration when you post that it will come up anything from 2-10 seconds after you hit post

i just want afro to hurry the fuck up and put me out of my misery

I texted him as soon as it happened but he hasn't responded.
